Chapter 633 Seeing a Guru!

Originally, Fang Qiu wanted to choose a position that was not eye-catching and take the opportunity to observe those major forces. Anyway, he was not here to buy things. He could at most be regarded as a fisherman in this auction.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, it was also beneficial for him to get closer to people of these forces. After all, with the people of these forces around to attract the attention, he would definitely be selectively ignored by everyone, which was called to be under the shadow.

Besides, if he was sitting next to those major forces, maybe he could hear some news.

Soon, the two of them came to the edge of the third row. Upon seeing that there were only two seats left, He Gaoming rushed forward. When he approached, he grabbed the number cards on the tea table between the two sofas on the outermost side of the third row.

Swoosh! A figure rushed forward quickly, as if he wanted to snatch it.

As soon as he made his move, He Gaoming grabbed the two number cards.

The man shook his head gloomily and had to return obediently. He went to the fourth row to find a seat.

“No. 1 and No. 2.” Having obtained the number cards, He Gaoming smiled smugly and handed one to Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu got the card which read, “No. 1 Row 3.”

Without hesitation, Fang Qiu walked to the first sofa and sat down.

“What’s this card for?” Fang Qiu asked while taking his seat.

He Gaoming also sat down on the second sofa. He turned to point at the tea table in the middle of the two sofas and said to Fang Qiu, “There are two sensing areas on it. If you want to raise the price during the auction, just put the number card in the sensing area.”

“Oh, I see.” Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.

It was no wonder that everyone’s way of grabbing a seat was to snatch the number card. Without the number card, it was useless to get the seat. Without the number card, it would be regarded as making trouble if one was taking the seat. Chic Cloud Pavilion would not allow such a thing to happen.

Fang Qiu asked, “How many forces are you familiar with in this auction?”

He Gaoming raised his head and said, “Are you kidding me? Don’t you see what I do for a living? How can I not know these forces that even ordinary people know?”

Fang Qiu asked, “All of them?”

He Gaoming pointed directly to the four seats in the middle of the first row, which faced the auction stage, and said confidently, “Of course. That is where the biggest force of the entire auction house is located.”

“Oh?” Fang Qiu turned to look at it.

He immediately saw three familiar faces in the four seats that He Gaoming was pointing to.

The woman in a white shirt with a male hairstyle—Zhan Lin!

There was Qian Xiao wearing white sportswear with a famous brand and cross-shaped ear studs, and Lu Zhiyuan, who was wearing a windbreaker and had taken off his scarf.

“Those four seats belong to the four noble families.”

He Gaoming said, “The Zhan family and the Qian family in the capital city, the Xi family in the west region, and the Diwu family in the south.”

“Four noble families?” Out of curiosity, Fang Qiu turned his eyes to the one who looked unfamiliar among the four.

As soon as Fang Qiu turned to look, he saw another woman who was young and beautiful with long hair and fair skin. She looked very thin.

Although he could only see her face clearly, he could still feel that this woman’s appearance was definitely not bad.

Just as Fang Qiu was staring at the woman, the woman seemed to have sensed something. She suddenly turned her head, glanced at Fang Qiu, and then turned back.

It was only one glance. They looked at each other for less than a second.

Fang Qiu was completely stunned.

As he had expected, this woman was ridiculously beautiful.

“The Qian family and the Zhan family are both in the capital city. You should have heard of it before. The Qian family is mainly involved in the antique business. Not only can they make money, but occasionally, they can also explore some ancient cultivation methods and secret skills.”

He Gaoming continued to explain to Fang Qiu, “The Zhan family does some idle business, such as cars, catering, chain hotels, real estate, and so on. In short, the financial strength of these two families is second to none in the four families.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Qiu suddenly smiled and said, “It seems that the present Wulin is still a little different from what we imagined.”

He Gaoming rolled his eyes at Fang Qiu and said, “What kind of Wulin do you imagine? Those big sects and families in martial arts novels? You’ve watched too many TV shows. What era is it now? Even the government doesn’t allow these big families to be domineering, let alone the development of society. Isn’t it courting death to mess with the government?”

“That’s true.” Fang Qiu nodded. He was very clear about the situation in the army. Although there were few martial arts practitioners and Martial Superior Level teams in the army, it didn’t mean that there were none. Except for some particularly talented soldiers that could become martial arts practitioners, how many people could make a breakthrough and become Martial Superiors?

If the country could cultivate martial arts practitioners and Martial Superior teams, it meant that there must be masters in the army.

Moreover, it was now the era of technology.

If someone really messed with the government, they would be the ones to die.

Therefore, it was normal for all the major forces in Wulin to be doing business.

He Gaoming curled his lips and added, “Besides, now it’s a society ruled by law. Is there anything that needs Wulin’s people to stand up to help? Look at the four families, except for Qian Xiao who brought three or four people, the others only brought one or two helpers with them. Even the eldest daughter of the Zhan family came alone.”

“Indeed.” Fang Qiu nodded.

After his observation, he found that only a small number of people had come to the auction with no more than five people. Most of the others came alone.

He Gaoming lowered his voice and said, “Let’s talk about the Xi family. The Xi family is incredible. If the Qian family and the Zhan family in the capital city are…”
